A selection of the best spots to climb during winter in Siurana.
A selection of the best spots to climb during winter in Siurana.
In Siurana you can climb all year. If you know where to go and at what time, this paradise of orange rock, always has a good sector to enjoy climbing, either in the middle of summer or in the middle of winter.
Those super cold days, with single digit temperatures and north winds winds, Siurana offers a good variety of crags to shelter and enjoy climbing. Here is a selection of our favorite sectors for the coldest days of the year.
La Reina Mora, is a sector with lots of sun and quite sheltered from the wind. In addition, this sector is better to visit on very cold days, since its climbing routes tend to be very vertical, technical and with very small holds, being better to climb here the days of more friction. Here you will find routes from 5th to 8b, of excellent quality, although the sector will be enjoyed more if your level goes from 6b to 7c.
Can Toni Gros, sector of medium-grade routes between 6b and 7b, of very good quality and perhaps a little less crowded than La Reina Mora. In the sun, sheltered from the wind and fast approach. It is an excellent sector and worth a visit.
Grau of the Massets. Here we have three options: Grau de Massets Baix, Cami and Esquerra. The three are sheltered from the wind and the walls remain in the sun until around 3pm, but keep in mind that the base of the routes is usually between trees, so if it is very cold, the belayer will freeze. Here there is variety of grades from the 4th to the 8a/b.
Corral Nou, a not very frequented sector but with excellent climbing. It is in the sun and although its approach is a little longer, it is worth a visit. Grades range from 5th to 8th and it is in the sun all day. A excellent option for the busier days in Siurana.
This is a selection of our favorite places to climb in winter in Siurana, the coldest and windiest days. If the wind is not so strong you have classic sectors such as Espero Primavera, El Pati, Siuranella Central or Herbolari, but you must have in mind that these sites are usually quite crowded and therefore you must deal with a large number of people in the sectors.

We did a two-day climbing course in Siurana and Arboli and couldn't be happier. Giordano is one of the best guides I have gone out climbing with, he explains things super well and has something to offer no matter your level. The communication with SouthClimb before the course was smooth - they gave us good recommendations about the best ways to get to the area, places to stay, and what to expect.
(Translated by Google) Super good experience with a super monitor, Santi, with a lot of patience, a lot of attention and good vibes. Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) Excellent course with Santi. I have done the rock climbing initiation course, a very complete course and ideal for those people who have never rock climbed or who already climb but want to improve. Apart from the great professionalism and confidence that he transmits at all times, I want to highlight the detail of being very aware of each one of us (group of 6 people). It has also taken into account the weather and the sectors where to climb without wind or cold. Very highly recommended!
(Original) Excelente curso con Santi. He hecho el curso de iniciación a escalada en Roca, curso muy completo y ideal para esas personas que no han escalado en roca nunca o que ya escalan pero quieren perfeccionar. A parte de la gran profesionalidad y confianza que transmite en todo momento, quiero destacar el detalle de estar muy pendiente de cada uno de nosotros (grupo de 6 personas). También ha tenido en cuenta la meteo y los sectores dónde escalar sin viento ni frío. Muy muy recomendable!
(Translated by Google) I have already done several courses with Santi, he is very professional, motivating and fun. He has a lot of patience and good humor, which makes you want to learn and improve yourself. We will repeat!!!

I organised a 4hr climbing session in Siurana for 10 children (mostly aged 8-9) and Santi was super easy to communicate with and organise everything remotely. He arranged 2 guides, all the equipment, safe briefing and everything you would need for a half day of fun climbing. The kids really enjoyed themselves and learnt so much along the way. Some were beginners, others had climbed before and the guides were very helpful and supportive. I highly recommend Southclimb and we can’t wait to go climbing with them again.
(Translated by Google) Great 10/10

(Translated by Google) I have done the course to learn to climb first and I have loved it. I have acquired a lot of autonomy thanks to Santi, who is very nice and you can tell he knows a lot. He is very professional and gives a lot of security. Thank you very much!!!
(Original) He hecho el curso para aprender a escalar de primera y me ha encantado. He adquirido muchísima autonomia gracias a Santi, que es muy majo y se le nota que sabe muchísimo. Es muy profesional y da mucha seguridad. Muchas gracias!!!
We had an awesome time with Mariano from South Climb! Did 2 days of guided climbing (first in Montserrat then in Gelida). It was great, he found routes that worked for both of us at our different levels (beginner and intermediate). He also had lots of tips to share to help us improve, which made the whole experience so much more valuable. Would highly recommend and would definitely come back!
